Parent Engagement Programs and Offices: Turning the

Helicopter Parent into an Advocate for Student Success

Alcove

Presenter:

Paul Kyle, Dean of Student Services


This session will focus on how institutions can reframe the role

the parent can play in helping with student success. Institutions

are finding new ways to train the parent in motivating their

student to be more accountable and more focused in achieving

their educational goals. This session will point out some best

practices in Parent engagement programming like; Parent

Engagement offices, Parent 101 classes, On-Boarding for Parents

and other techniques to harness the parents’ passion for student

success, therefore bringing the parent in for a soft landing.

Results include better retention, more engaged students and

parents less concerned in how you conduct your business.

Apply Kansas-Come on Board

Kings

Presenter:

April Cozine, Assistant Director


Apply Kansas is a state-wide initiative sponsored by KACRAO

as part of the American College Application Campaign. This

national effort is aimed at increasing the number of first-

generation and low-income students pursuing a college degree or

other post-secondary credential to help ensure that 60% of

Americans and Kansans have some sort of degree or credential by

2025. The primary purpose of this effort is to help high school

seniors navigate the college admissions process and ensure they

apply to at least one postsecondary institution. Learn more about

these efforts in Kansas, KACRAO’s role, and how you can

become involved.

Campfire Session 4: How We Enjoyed the Journey


Presenter:



9:40-10:10

Closing Speaker Kaw Nation/Big Basin

Generation Z Goes to College Dr. Michael Wesch

Generation Z grew up with touch screens, smart phones, and

always on-demand entertainment. They've given up Facebook

messaging for Snapchatting and Yik Yakking. So has college life

changed? Dr. Wesch, an anthropologist at Kansas State

University, decided to find out by actually joining them for a

wild night out. He went to frat parties, college bars, and joined

them for late night adventures around campus to find out just

how much has changed since he went to college 20 years ago. In

the process, he learns that he may have as much to learn from

them as they do from him.

FLINTHILLSBREADBASKET

Mission: To minimize hunger and poverty through the distribution of available food and to nurture projects that help

alleviate hunger and poverty.

The Flint Hills Breadbasket is a Community Food Network founded in 1983 in a small shed in which the City of Manhattan housed machinery. Since then we have grown, but continue to offer much needed food to those in need through community donations and volunteer support. Hunger is oftentimes an invisible tragedy, and for over thirty-two years the Flint Hills Breadbasket has been collecting and distributing food to ensure that no one in the community goes hungry.

Did you know?

23.2% of Riley County's citizens live at or below the poverty level.

In 2015 The Breadbasket received over 700,000 pounds and served over 23,000 individuals.
